OverviewThis year-by-year account chronicles the tenure of Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim, as he leads the United Nations throught the veritable diplomatic minefield of the Vietnam conflict and presides over an increasingly difficult peace between the Superpowers. He became United Nations Secretary-General in a time of great challenge, for the organization was beset by financial crisis and the object of doubt and criticism from even its long time supporters. Included is a day-by-day chronology of Waldheim's decades-long reign, which details international events of enduring importance.
